WASHINGTON CITY, March 22-Dr. 2.
7. Sewers, of this city, in an interview with
a Critic reporter sounds warning and urges
President Cleveland to change his mode of
living. DR.. Sewers, months before Secretary
Manning was seized with his unfortunate at
tack, predicted that that officer would not
live through the time of the present admin
istration, ''uuless," as he said at the time, "a
most radical change is made in his daily
life" Monday to The Critic reporter the
doctor runs on in this manner about the
president:
tit may be deemed impairment to talk to
the president through newspaper man, but
know Of no other way of reaching him
and those about him SO surely. You recall
my attempts with the friends Of Mr.. Man
ming and their fruit, and do not feel that I
should take the same chances in this matter.
| am personally appraised of the presidents
condition, and while it is in no sense danger
Gus it will not be long before there will be
| every reason for alarm. President Cleve-
land is large, fieshy man, and since
his advent to the White House
has gained enormously in weight. Now,
when he lived in Buffalo it was his habit to
take long walks. Since he came here, how
ever, he has abandoned every form Of exer-
else save carriage riding That is Of little or
no use, with the springs now used, and the
smooth streets for which Washington is
famous. The president is a man who works
| with his head great deal; is in fact an in
tense brain worker. He is, in other words,
| a plodder, and his brain is consequently filled
| with an excess of blood What is the RESULT
He works with his head, eats enormously,
and fails to exercise his muscles. His blood
vessels are weakened, and it is only ques-
ton Of time before, in moment of excitement
be bursts blood-vessel. tell you, at the
rate President Cleveland is now living there
is great danger that he will not live through
his term. Something should be done to bring
him to realize his danger and take the proper
steps to prevent the result which will surely
ensue if he fails to take proper exercise.
"Wbat should recommend" Dr. Sewers
adds, would be the fixing up of a room in
the White House, and the setting apart of d
half hour every day for gymnastic exercise.
That alone in my opinion. will prevent a
catastrophe, the avoidance of which not

A Plea to Lord Randy"

NEW YORK, March 22.-The Herald prints
letter recently sent By Archbishop Lynch,
OF Toronto, to Lord Randolph, Churchill, the
English Tory leader. The archbishop urges
his lordship to study the Irish question, not
in spirit of party, but with desire for JUS
tice, and he feels confident that Lord RAN
dolph, having done so, will join Gladstone in
effecting more stable union of the British
empire. The archbishop points out that the
machinery Of the Irish land commission is so
cumbersome that half a century must neces-
sarily elapse before it can dispose of all the
cases brought before it. The landlords are
meantime taking ad vantage Of this delay and
pushing evictions. Archbishop Lynch says
there are unmistakable signs in England of
agrowing volcano, and urges upon Lord
Churchill the duty of helping the country to
do justice to Ireland. He makes passing
reference to the ruined churches, colleges and
hospitals Of Ireland as silent evidence of
centuries Of misrule, and concludes by say
ing that England is not beyond the reach
OF eternal Justice

THE New York Times closes long
editorial review of President Cleveland
first two years in office, as follows:
Any one who takes the trouble to re
feet what was hoped and feared of Mr..
Cleveland two years ago, and to compare
with that the condition into which the
executive branch of the government, so
far as it is subject to the influence of the
president, has been brought, must &C
knowledge that there is solid ground for
the deep and widespread confidence he
has unquestionably inspired. OF this
confidence the evidence is overwhelming.
The votes of the men who now regret
that they did not support him and who
are grateful that be was elected consti-
tute a political force that, If i. could be
registered today. would be of immense
significance. Its chief sil nificance would
be in the proof that man who dares to
do his duty faithfully can defy the poll
ticisns of either party or OF both.
